The interest that the bank has to pay will be a huge expense. If Qi Feihong cannot earn back the interest in time, the bank will really be unable to sustain it.
Li Quan and others calculated that among the 300 million spirit coins, 200 million spirit coins were stored in large amounts, and the monthly interest was about one million spirit coins. The monthly interest on the deposits of another 100 million retail investors is about 300,000 spirit coins. In other words, the bank needs to pay interest of 1.3 million spirit coins to all depositors every month.
This is not a small amount. If Qi Feihong doesn't have a good way to solve it, the bank will really not be able to hold on for long. Li Quan and others were secretly anxious, but seeing Qi Feihong's confident look, they couldn't say much.
The day after Qi Feihong stopped accepting deposits from large depositors, he left Feihu City alone and went to Feilong City. When he came back from Feilong City, he handed Li Quan a space ring. There were two million spiritual coins in the space ring.
Li Quan was very surprised and couldn't help but ask Qi Feihong where these spiritual coins came from. Qi Feihong just smiled and didn't say much.
Li Quan knew what these spirit coins were for. He took the spirit coins to the bank and ordered people to start calculating the interest of each depositor this month. He also ordered people to post notices, asking all depositors who had saved money in the bank for one month to come to the bank on time. Receive interest.
Qi Feihong did not care about these matters anymore. He and Qian Zhirou took fifty servants and fifty carefully selected soldiers from the city lord's palace and said they were going out. Qi Feihong ordered Li Quan to take out 100 million spiritual coins from the bank and give them to Qian Zhirou, saying they would use them when they went out.
Li Quan didn't know what the young city lord was going to do, but seeing Qi Feihong's secrecy, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. Li Quan personally handed 100 million spiritual coins to Qian Zhirou, and Qian Zhirou ordered the fifty accompanying servants of the city lord's palace to divide the spiritual coins into fifty parts, with each person carrying one.
One hundred million spirit coins are divided into fifty parts, each part is two million spirit coins, and the weight is astonishing. However, the space rings Qian Zhirou prepared for the chamberlains had the function of reducing weight. The chamberlains carried the spirit coins on their way, but they did not feel that they were heavy.
Fifty soldiers from Feihu City were led by Shi Jian and Shi Cha, who were responsible for protecting Qi Feihong, Qian Zhirou, and the chamberlains who carried a large amount of spiritual coins. There were more than a hundred people in their group, and when they set off, it was quite a spectacle.
This time Qi Feihong did not work with Huangfu Cheng and Fairy Nihuang, because Huangfu Cheng and Fairy Nihuang happened to have something to do and left Feihu City in the past few days.
Qi Feihong and Qian Zhirou left Feihu City with their servants and others. They first came to Feilong City through the teleportation array and went directly to see His Majesty Yu Wenxian, the Emperor of the Red Dragon Kingdom. Yu Wenxian seemed to have known that Qi Feihong was coming, and was not surprised after seeing Qi Feihong.
Qi Feihong brought Qian Zhirou to see Yu Wenxian. After bowing, Yu Wenxian smiled and asked, "Master Qi, are you here to fulfill your previous promise and deliver urgently needed spiritual herbs to the alchemy room?"
Qi Feihong clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the two million spiritual coins your Majesty gave me as a deposit have not yet been used to buy the spiritual herbs needed for the alchemy room. This time I am taking people to the far west to purchase high-quality spiritual herbs. Damn it, I passed by the Imperial City and came to pay homage to Your Majesty."
Yu Wenxian said: "The alchemy room is in urgent need of a large amount of spiritual herbs. Why is Master Qi wasting time? Go to the far west to purchase spiritual herbs quickly, without any mistakes."
Qi Feihong said: "I will set off immediately. I just have something to do, and I hope your majesty can agree to it, so as not to distract me from this matter and miss your majesty's important event."
Yu Wenxian asked: "What else do you have? It doesn't hurt to just tell me."
Qi Feihong said: "This time I go out to purchase. In addition to the spiritual herbs needed for the alchemy room, I will also purchase some weapon refining materials that are only available in the Far West, as well as ready-made weapons and armor. I know that the Far West The land is very dangerous, there are not only a large number of monsters raging, but also some demon cultivators causing chaos, so I would like to ask your Majesty to send some manpower to ensure the safety of my trip."
Yu Wenxian nodded: "It's easy to talk about. I have many attendants around me. You can have as many as you want."
Qi Feihong said: "The strength of the servants is not enough to ensure the safety of the ministers. I would also like to ask your Majesty to send someone with stronger strength to accompany the ministers to the far west."
Yu Wenxian smiled: "Are you trying to defeat the senior experts around me? That's fine, I just don't know which one of them is willing to go to the far west with you. It's not easy for me to appoint, you go and see them yourself , ask them to go with you."
Qi Feihong clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty has given me a decree. I believe they are all willing to go to the far west with me."
Yu Wenxian laughed and picked up the pen, wrote down a decree and handed it to Qi Feihong: "You can go and invite them with my decree. Remember, you are allowed to take ten people away. Feilong City is not particularly safe at the moment. I also need to have experts around me.”
Qi Feihong accepted this decree and went directly to the seniors of the Yuwen family. With Yu Wenxian's will in hand, those senior experts stepped forward without saying a word, ten of them, and followed Qi Feihong away.
Qi Feihong originally had only Shi Jian and Shi Cha who were Taiyi Golden Immortal-level masters, but now there are ten more masters from the Yuwen family, and his overall strength has improved a lot.
Qi Feihong borrowed Feilong City's teleportation array and took more than a hundred people to the Golden City, a larger city near the Far West. Golden City is somewhat famous in Chilong Country, but it is not ranked among the top ten. It is just a larger city.
This city is called Gold, but not all of it is filled with gold. Instead, it is just a city built in the desert, with golden sand everywhere. Golden City is a remote city where the Qiankun Cave has rampant activities and once occupied the city for several years. Fortunately, not long ago, General Jing Ping of the Red Dragon Kingdom led his troops to take back the Golden City and repaired the teleportation array in the Golden City. Otherwise, Qi Feihong would not be able to come directly to the Golden City, which is very close to the Far West this time.
The population of Golden City is not very large, but there are many vendors. Wherever Qi Feihong and others go, they are all passing vendors. Among them, there are also people who have gone to the far west, hoping to find some companions to embolden their courage. Someone approached Qi Feihong and the others, but they were rejected by Qi Feihong. There were already enough people around him, and there was no need to travel with people he didn't know, which would only cause more trouble.
Everyone took a rest in the Golden City, bought some food and water, and then left the Golden City and headed west, directly into the vast desert.
The land of the far west is in this vast desert, a huge oasis in the desert. Further west from here is the endless desert. Even very powerful immortal cultivators rarely dare to enter it alone.
For a long time, the Red Dragon Kingdom has not paid much attention to the area of the Far West, resulting in a mixture of fish and dragons, making it extremely dangerous. In addition, this place is originally a place where monsters gather, and powerful monsters often attack humans, making this place even more dangerous.
However, the so-called land in the far west is also very magical. It is naturally suitable for the growth of all kinds of spiritual grass, and the spiritual grass produced accounts for almost half of the red dragon country. With a complete range of varieties, it has been an ideal place for the Alchemy Room of Red Dragon Kingdom to purchase alchemy materials for a long time.
Unfortunately, in the past hundred years, the land in the far west has been occupied by dark forces such as Qiankun Cave. People from the Alchemy House of Red Dragon Kingdom came to purchase spiritual herbs several times but failed, and many people even lost their lives.
Yu Wenxian also sent Jingping to lead an army to attack the far west, but returned without success. The land in the far west is too vast and very dangerous. After Jingping's army arrived here, they were attacked by monsters before they saw the men and horses in Qiankun Cave. More than half of them were killed or injured, so they had to retreat.
According to Jing Ping, the land in the far west is not only filled with monsters and beasts, but also has an extremely complex environment. Without someone who is familiar with the place to lead the way, it is easy to get lost in the vast desert.
The desert is short of water, and an army lost in it will soon lose a large number of soldiers due to lack of water. Even without the attacks of monster beasts and the Qiankun Cave, it is easy to suffer heavy casualties.
